Hawaii Inmates

Hawaii inmates are a diverse group of people by the nature of the state. The prison admission rate is on a steady but slow incline, making more and more inmates in Hawaiian prisons and the jail facilities. Crime rates, while dipping occasionally, are back on the rise again. Hawaii inmates are currently housed in facilities that are often operating at up to 125% of capacity. Hawaii's prisons, including the women's facility, hold just over 2,100 inmates, while designed for far fewer. The jail system, since it holds some sentenced prisoners, transition prisoners, and pretrial inmates, is also severely overcrowded.

The male population alone has doubled in the last ten years. The length of sentencing also has a direct affect on inmate populations. With more inmates committing violent crimes, their average sentences are longer, requiring the use of more beds for longer amounts of time, and taking up more space because of the slower admissions to release turn around. The highest and most obvious spike, however, has been in the female population, which has risen dramatically, showing high and steep peaks. The state's female population of inmates has more than tripled?nearly quadrupled in the past ten years.

Hawaii State Inmates

In the State of Hawaii, prisoners and inmates are the overall responsibility of the Department of Public Safety. Within the Department of Public Safety, the Institutions Division tracks and cares for all Hawaii State inmates. It is separated further into two sections: jails, for the supervision of the four jails in the state; and prisons, which oversees Halawa Correctional Facility, Kulani Correctional Facility, Waiawa Correctional Facility and the Women's Community Correctional Center. All of the prisons are located on the island of Oahu, except one, which can be found on the main island of Hawaii. Jails are also important in the State of Hawaii, since they provide transitional services for inmates on the cusp of blending back into society. They also hold pretrial detainees, and also inmates who have been sentenced to very short terms.

Other prisons that house a variety of inmates include the Otter Creek Correctional Center, Red Rock Correctional Center, and the Saguaro Correctional Center. Plans are also underway for a new Secure Special Needs Treatment Correctional Facility.

These cases are all searchable, whether they are located in the jails or a Hawaii State prison. People, such as victims or concerned citizens, may search for Hawaii inmates anonymously. Offenders are never made aware of searches for them, there parole status, or their whereabouts. Aside from verifying the location of Hawaii inmates (which penitentiary or jail facility a specific inmate is housed within), information can be found in Hawaii on parole status and custody of all offenders still under supervision, including parolees and probationers.

The Hawaii Department of Public Safety strongly recommends that you do not rely on the information on their website for your protection.

Victims may register with the Department of Public Safety, and will receive personal updates about an offender. In some instances, other interested parties can also qualify to receive similar updates. There are several avenues for the victims to take in searching for offenders. Third party sites are one source, but victims can also register with VINE, Victim Information and Notification Everyday to receive updates from the Department of Public Safety (sometimes referred to as SAVIN in the State of Hawaii.) Victims who register for this notification will also remain anonymous, but should also consider verifying the information that they receive for the same reasons as detailed above.
